Objective

The objective of this project is to develop one or more prototype hearing defenders which more closely matched the needs of the mining industry within the framework of Article 6 of EEC Directive 86/188/EEC (on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to noise at work) than those which were commercially available. The Directive requires hearing defenders to be 'adapted to the individual worker and to his working conditions, taking account of his safety and health'.
